Comedy: Gig Of The Week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Virtually the entire cast of Red Dwarf seem to be on the live comedy circuit this spring. Craig Charles has just completed a tour, and Hattie Hayridge has been gigging. Now it is the turn of Chris Barrie and Norman Lovett (above) - that's Rimmer and Holly to Dwarfies - to do their live thing. Barrie, one of the original voices on Spitting Image, has not done a stage show for five years. The star of The Brittas Empire is promising a "fusion of impressions and stand-up". Lovett has been on the circuit for years - he was one of the first acts to appear at the Comedy Store and was doing a deadpan act long before Jack Dee ever donned a suit and a scowl.
Chris Barrie and Norman Lovett's joint national tour opens at High Wycombe Town Hall (01494 512000) tonight and continues at St Albans Arena (01727 844488) Thur, and Tottenham Millfield Theatre (0181-807 6680) Fri
